The biggest danger, in my opinion, is not being informed enough to know right from wrong, good from bad. When someone doesn't have enough nutrition knowledge, it leads to confusion. And when people get confused they tend to give up. The food industry does focus groups and is well aware of this. That's why they hire doctors, nutritionists and dietitians to put out information that suits their commercial perspective. And the commercial perspective, by definition, is going to be conflicting and confusing because it's not about health.

So people say, "I don't know what to believe anymore, I give up, I'm just going to eat what I like." Ka-ching!!!...$$$$$$ It means more sales of processed foods like pizza, ice cream, baked goods made with flour, sodas, chips and dips, fatty hamburgers, hotdogs, french fries etc..
